Okay making this thread again now that I'm actually awake enough to post it in the right forum. I hope.
Random event antags are pretty rare right now, and given the unreliability of latejoin antags (which aren't even in wizard rounds IIRC and wizards often get wiped out fast) you can end up with no antags, or at least no antags doing anything, for the majority of the round. On lowpop rounds you also sometimes end up with a single, heavily armed antagonist that no one can really fight killing everyone a few minutes after they join, which isn't really fun for anyone except the antag.
What I propose is that random event antagonists be made more common, perhaps with the chance increasing the longer the round goes on. I think this will make rounds generally more interesting and likely to last longer since random event antags can prevent the "station is in good shape but almost everyone is bored as hell" reason to call the shuttle. It should also make it less likely that people will leave when they die, which isn't a problem per se but is certainly annoying for doctors.
Also, maybe people will actually earn the PredatorHunter medal.
The original post was much better written than this but I was half asleep, posted it in the wrong forum, and somehow managed to forget that threads can be moved on forums and deleted it. C'est la vie.
